Heat index

During April, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 50°C (122°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
